– Build secure AI models that run on hundreds of millions of mobile devices within Appdome-protected applications.

– Create advanced detection algorithms for sophisticated and complex threats that traditional security methods fail to identify.

– Optimize model performance across diverse mobile device environments to ensure reliable threat detection.

– Research AI-based applications, frameworks, and OS-level features to identify emerging attack vectors and detect attempts to exploit embedded AI models.

– Collaborate with cyber research teams to validate and refine recognition models based on real-world threats.

Requirements

– Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.

– 2+ years of experience in Data Science roles.

– Proven experience managing AI/ML project lifecycles from conception to deployment.

– Deep understanding of classic ML, deep learning, and LLMs.

– Strong proficiency in Python and experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, Scikit-Learn, and TensorFlow.

– Hands-on experience with low-level programming in C/C++.

– Team player with strong collaboration and communication skills.

– Quick learner with ability to adapt to new tools, methods, and frameworks.

Preferred Qualifications:

– Background in mobile app research or development (Android/iOS).

– Image processing experience.

– Reverse engineering experience with tools like IDA, gdb, and lldb.

– Knowledge of OS internals.

– Cybersecurity background with understanding of threat landscapes and attack vectors.
